Here we are going to see how to add custom Site Action and Site Settings links in SharePoint Online, same code can be used for SharePoint 2013 and 2016. It’s very useful to provide our custom application navigation link in site action and custom application setting link Under site setting. This application provides easy user interaction.

I have used custom page layout for developing this application and I used JSOM. If you are not familiar creating custom page layout, Check my previous post SharePoint custom page layout .

In general, we have to use user custom action object to create link in site settings or site action menu. In that we have to pass the location and the group ID as a parameter, in the below table we can find out the all locations and group IDs for other possibilities.

Sequence parameter will define top or bottom of the another link; Ex, 100 Sequence will place our link in the next to 99 Sequence link
Removing our custom link is very simple, we just have to loop all the custom links and filter the link based on link title, then we can remove the link object.

This post will explain about creating new page layout for SharePoint Online, same logic is applicable for SharePoint 2013 and 2016.

Custom page layout can be used in SharePoint publishing site or Publishing feature enabled sites. Custom page layout can be used in SharePoint default master page or our custom master page,

check my previous post about how to create custom master page for SharePoint
Navigate to SharePoint design manager and click Edit Page Layout link then click Create a page layout, in the popup enter new layout name and select master page and select existing SharePoint default content type or create new content type based on your requirement, you can find the create new content type link on the same popup.

Once the page layout is created, open SharePoint Designer 2013 and open site on that. On the left side of SharePoint Designer select layout and you can find newly created layout files, there will be two files in same name one is HTML and another one is ASPX extension.
Check out the newly created page layout (HTML extension) and right click and select Edit File in Advanced Mode option.

Once page layout opened then find out ContentPlaceHolder ID of “PlaceHolderMain”, clear all div elements inside the place holder and paste your page layout HTML or prepare your HTML inside.
If you created custom master page using HTML template conversion logic, then you have to cut center content(layout content) from master page and paste in this page layout.
Navigate to site home page and edit the page and select page tab, in that tab open page layout drop down and select our new layout.

And now your new page layout is ready..!!
